Beiyang 1917

() At this time and space in 1918, although the 33-year-old Maeda Houye is only a member of the Shaozuo Lianjun, he is a young general who is favored by General Utsunomiya and is preparing to train and promote. To put it bluntly, Maeda Toshi If he stays in Utsunomiya Taro's 3rd Army Headquarters and serves as a staff officer, the speed of promotion will not be much worse than Ishihara and Itagaki, but this Hou Ye with glasses on the bridge of his nose prefers to stick his neck Starting from the field troops, it is only a regiment attached to the 7th Infantry Regiment of Taisuke Mizuno.

"Maeda Shaozuo, you have fought hard all day and worked hard. How is the situation of the troops?" Although Lu Huanyan can't be approachable, he still has a little admiration for a nobleman like Maeda who still takes the lead in fighting on the front line of the battlefield. The scruffy bearded major with glasses is not only a marquis, but also the master who graduated 23rd in the 3rd batch of the Continental University, so there is no reason to belittle him. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the 7th Regiment of Taisuke Mizuno is not weak, the strength of a mere brigade I was stunned to seal the Ukrainians in the eastern city of Kharkov and couldn't move. ..

"Lu Sang, you are the commander of the coalition forces we respect. The combat effectiveness and fighting spirit of the Chinese armored forces are obvious to all. I will not hide it from you. Captain Mizuno has only one brigade of the Nakamura brigade under his command. If it weren't for your subordinates this morning With the assistance of the 19rd Armored Battalion, it is impossible for us to take the Kharkov Bridge. Now Mr. Nakamura has been injured, and the 2th Infantry Battalion has only two and a half squadrons left. Enriched to the front line, our department urgently needs to be supplemented and rested, but the brigade and regiment department issued a death order, and the Kharkov Bridge was lost. Only the captain Mizuno asked..." ..

It was time for dinner, Major Maeda Toshiyuki wolfed down the canned American beef that Lu Huanyan handed over, and said inarticulately, obviously, the master and his regiment leader fought all day today. I haven't touched my teeth much, I'm really hungry right now...

"Eat slowly and don't choke..." Lu Huanyan showed a rare smile. Although this guy is several years younger than Maeda Shaozuo, as the head of the armored regiment of the Chinese Army and the colonel of the army, what kind of day is he? Haven't you seen the head of the brigade and division of the regiment?In the eyes of Lu Huanyan, Maeda Shaozuo, the affiliated team, is really just a junior major.

Maeda Toshi, who was wolfing down his face, blushed, but his eyes became moist. This Chinese master who is not restrained in talking and laughing in front of the head of the Taiba division, now shows the demeanor of an elder in front of himself. Lu Huanyan is actually also a face Zha looks older than Maeda Toshiwei, but Colonel Lu, who was born in 1890, is only 28 years old this year, five years younger than the 33-year-old Marquis Maeda.

At this time, the staff officers and deputies in Lu Huanyan's former enemy headquarters were all struggling with the cans in their hands. Although the two main battalions of the 1st Armored Regiment had already crossed the river and reached the key point near the three-way intersection, the 14th Federal Infantry Division The two artillery battalions are still on the road, and the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masaki Masaki has not even completed crossing the river, and the 13st Infantry Regiment of the 51th Federal Infantry Division is still on the road in the North Man forest. The entire road more than ten kilometers north of Sancha Road was crowded with people screaming and screaming.

At this time, if the German-Ukrainian coalition forces can launch air strikes, Lu Huanyan’s detoured second-echelon unit will definitely not be able to fall. Fortunately, the German Air Force has not yet returned to the sky over Eastern Ukraine, and the Kharkov Forest is sheltering the Ukrainian people. At the same time, the foreign allied forces were treated equally. The dense canopy covered the sky and blocked the view of the sky. Since it was already midsummer at the end of July, although the sun had gradually set near the horizon, there was still at least an hour before dark time.

"Guangkui, how do we fight next? The Mizuno Regiment has only seven or eight hundred troops left at the bridgehead and is exhausted and lacks food and ammunition. It is not easy to say that the east gate of Kharkov has been closed for a day. The strength of the Ukrainians here is at least ten times that of theirs, and it is difficult to rush out in the dark...not to mention...the former enemy headquarters and the Muto brigade both reported that the main force of the German reinforcements appeared in the south of the city..." Armor The chief of staff of the regiment, Colonel Ren Dao, said unhurriedly from the side.

Ren Daoist is the son of a nobleman in Jinmen, the former master of the family was named Aixinjueluo, this guy did not study in Baoding Military Academy, but the Artillery Department studied by Lu Shi in Japan, he must be a descendant of Jiang Fangzhen, who joined the teaching regiment of the war army He was also a disciple taken by Senior Jiang, and in terms of age, he was 28 years older than the 2-year-old head of the regiment, Lu Huanyan...but this guy has also been promoted to an army colonel...in the armored regiment, he can be regarded as a character like Zhuge Liang who can charge into battle.

"Chief of Staff, the German army on the southern front has already received reinforcements. In my opinion, this battle is not easy to fight. The Muto Brigade is supporting the south, and there are two big rivers, the Kharkov River and the Uda River. If the Germans follow the order If you push from south to north, I don't think the opponent is too big. What I worry about is that this fellow von Neuhaus may not let go of the opportunity to attack the Kharkov Bridge from the east. He really wants to rush out of the city. The German infantry regiment is not easy for us to deal with..."

Lu Huanyan swallowed the black bread in his hand in two or three gulps, walked to the battle map hanging on the tent wall, and began to point out. The two battalion commanders Tao Dayong and Liu Yifei who entered the tent also came up with the heated canned beef handed over by the orderlies in their hands.

Liu Yifei, commander of the 2nd Armored Battalion, is an excellent student in the 5th Infantry Department of Baoding Military Academy. Major Liu, who was supposed to graduate two months later, joined the teaching regiment of the participating army half a year earlier. The battalion commander can be regarded as one of Lu Huanyan's generals.

Liu Yifei was born on August 1893, 8 (July 25, 19th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty) in a wealthy farmer's family in Wayao, Liujia, along Chaihe River, Tieling County, Liaoning Province.His ancestors lived in Liujiazhuang on the bank of the Yellow River in Xiajin County, Dongchang Prefecture, Shandong Province for a long time, and worked as farmers for generations.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow River diverted its course, and Xiajin County was hit by drought and waterlogging.The Liu family fled famine with their children and came to the northeast and settled in Tieling.His grandfather Liu Yongcheng and grandmother Li Shi had six children, the eldest son died young, and the second son Liu Qi was the father of Liu Yifei.Liu Qi married his wife Yang and had four children, Liu Yifei was the second.

After the establishment of the participating army created by Wang Geng, it is open to all people. Whether it is a member of the Southern Party or a former member of the alliance, as long as the people of insight who are willing to unite under the banner of the Beiyang Zheng Fu have their first day, Liu Yifei, who is studying in the fifth period of the Baoding Military Academy Unable to hold back, he joined the war army half a year in advance and joined the teaching regiment. From the second lieutenant platoon leader and lieutenant company commander to the second battalion commander of the armored regiment, Li Shang and Tao Dayong did not dare to underestimate him, and Xue Juru The company commanders like Dong Yingbin are even more enthusiastic and envious.
